As the Austrian pop icon Falco (almost) once sang, “Won’t you amuse me with your operatic vision, Amadeus?”. What? Trinity Buoy Wharf in London’s Docklands is also in on the act, via a double bill of Mozart “pop-up opera” ( Bastien und Bastienne, Der Schauspieldirektor), on May 16 (7-10pm; £17.50; trinitybuoywharf.com). What to do in Peterborough on a Wednesday evening? If it’s May 16 (7.30-9pm; £4), you can opt to be scared into some sort of stupor at the Peterborough Museum (vivacity.org), via “An Evening at the Priestgate Vaults”. This 16thcentury cellar is said to be haunted – in this case, by costumed characters from the building’s past. “Not suitable for those of a nervous disposition” advises the promotional blurb. Cripes, Shaggy! So, it’s May 18. You’re in Glasgow. And you want nt a night of nauticalaccented fun. Obviously. So you need d the Glenlee (thetallship. p. com) – a museum ship on the Clyde, built in the city in 1896, which h is joining in the Museums At Night joviality. How? Something to do with pirates, or rigging, or knots? Is it knots? No, it’s Glaswegian comedians, games, beer and hot meat pies. s. So there (7.30-11.30pm; m; £12, over-18s only). Kids across Newcastle will leap at the chance to stay up late and pretend their parents’ idea of humour is still funny at Seven Stories, The National Centre for Children’s Books (sevenstories.org.uk), which will host an evening (May 18; 7-11pm; free) dedicated to comic art – complete with cartoonists from The Beano, and a tuck shop.
